I'm working on improving my list to make it a little more competitive and flexible. This is the latest version and I'm looking for any advice on how this list competes and whether there are any weaknesses that should be filled. It's similar to my previous list that was losing to drop pod UM and Tau.

7x Warp Spiders (133pts)

I'm thinking the warlocks will join the windrider squads and cast conceal to stack on the jink saves. The jetbikes will be mobile and annoying to find isolated weak units, and grab objectives late.

Thanks!

I am curious if it makes sense to add scatter lasers to the wraith knight to give laser lock the the heavy wraith cannons.

A MC can only fire 2 weapons so you are firing a scatter laser instead of a heavy wraith cannon so I don't think it's worth it.

Your points are off on the warlocks, they are 55 each with jetbikes and spears, in this case just drop the spear, their twin catapults are fine.

As for the rest, I hate star cannons on crimson hunter, it makes its AA crappy, with only the pulse laser doing anything useful (except other xenos flyers).

Lastly I would recommend dropping 2 avengers from each unit and both SC from the jetbikes and take more scorpions.

I'm thinking of dropping the warlocks entirely. I'm not sure they are worth the points.

I hadn't given much though to the star cannons, I guess the s8 from the bright lance makes it more useful. I'll try that out.

Are you thinking another squad of scorpions or a larger group? I'm not sure what the right squad size for the scorpions is.

Another squad of 5 would be a good idea, more chance of getting into CC.

No need for 6 fire dragons, just take 5.

Lol if you have points and the model take the 6th dragon, in case of base dice and an extra wound for the grinder.
